Memphis is a case study in how white supremacist interests are empowered to create ghetto conditions through maximalist systemic disenfranchisement while convincing the oppressed population that they deserve those manufactured outcomes.
We gotta figure out how to kick the right asses. There are about four primary architects of misery gallivanting around the city that NEED to catch five across their lip, but they’re still walking around untouched.
Cheeky Hallows 🎃✨@bigmamageneral.blacksky.app · 4d agoMemphis is so ghetto cause why would a fight break out at the city council meeting? I understand protesting the data centers but fighting?!

This app is often someone going "America has NEVER treated people this badly just because of their identity", meanwhile they're describing a type of treatment Black Americans have been receiving for centuries
I went to the grand reopening of the African American Civil War museum this week and the timing is just right — its mission to preserve Black history is more relevant now than ever

You feel it too. Desperation is at an all time high. Pressure from all sides makes people lean into destructive selfishness. This is an ancient cycle. Ground your politics in compassion.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.
Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.
